About our founder
Mimi Blanchard has spent her career inside the rooms where creative ideas are shaped, pitched, produced, refined, and launched.
Her television career has included scripted and unscripted development and current programming, platform original films, short-form and digital content, independent film acquisition, talent scouting and development and more than twenty years of creating internship programs and early-career pathways. Across projects, teams, and talent pipelines, she has helped bring ideas from concept to execution while supporting a generation of interns who have gone on to become writers, directors, producers and senior-level executives.
Before stepping into television, Mimi began her entertainment career as a performer at Disneyland, where she learned firsthand the power of storytelling, audience connection, preparation, and most importantly, joy. That early creative foundation still informs how she approaches the work today.
Mimi’s work is rooted in a simple belief: creative industries require strategy, but they should also be human, collaborative, and joyful. The best ideas come from listening closely, asking the right questions, shaping the vision, and building a thoughtful path forward, with room for creativity, collaboration, and a little fun along the way.

The clearest proof of what she does is where the people she brought in ended up.
She has an incredible eye for talent, trends, and all things pop culture. She instinctively knows what makes great TV and has a rare ability to see what’s next. She’s smart, creative, insightful, and truly the person you want in the room. I feel lucky to have learned from her early in my career and couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Mimi is the reason I got my start in this industry. She’s a true tastemaker and an incredible team leader, and I genuinely wouldn’t be where I am today without her belief in me, guidance, and support. She has an incredibly rare ability to add value at every stage of the creative process, from the earliest spark of an idea through development, execution, and production.
Through her knowledge and guidance, Mimi Blanchard has positively impacted dozens of careers and projects over the years, including my own. As a former intern and colleague, I’ve witnessed her ability to develop shows from the ground up while seamlessly collaborating with a wide range of personalities and stakeholders. From Mimi, I learned how to excel in my career while staying true to myself. Her wealth of experience, deep relationships, and rare candor make her one of the most gifted and grounded executives in Hollywood.
As both a mentor and colleague, Mimi helped me understand what it means to be a creative executive at the highest level—leading with vision, excellence, and intention. What makes her impact even more meaningful is her commitment to creating opportunities for others. Through her leadership and guidance, she has consistently opened doors for emerging talent, executives, and creatives. Her influence has shaped not only my career, but the way I now approach leadership and creating opportunities for others.
Mimi has been truly instrumental in my career journey. Her guidance, mentorship, and continued support have helped shape me professionally, and she has remained a genuine advocate for my growth and advancement throughout my career. I’m incredibly grateful to have had her in my corner.
